Battle
During the counterattack against Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, the Nigerian Army assaulted the Boko Haram base at Doksa, one of their last strongholds. They killed many Boko Haram fighters and captured Musa Abdullahi, one of the fighters, before proceeding to raze all of the Boko Haram huts and tents that they lived in. With no base to return to, the Boko Haram forces were forced to continue their retreat as Sambisa Forest was also retaken by the government.
